Jersey City Pop-Up Restaurant


Most of our friends already know we're planning a Jersey City Pop-Up Restaurant Series Starting in May.  We hope to do 1 per month for at least 6 months.  Here's the blurb I wrote up for our Kickstarter Project Page (yet to be approved):


We want to partner with local businesses and organizations in Downtown Jersey City to promote local chefs and local food, stimulate the culinary community and provide a new venue for creativity and socialization among the local residents and business people.  Its our believe that sharing great food is a key part of building meaningful relationships and creating a sense of shared community, trust and friendship.  We also love to cook, serve host and eat!  The Pop-Up Restaurant concept lets us bring together our love of food and desire to bring more people in Jersey City together, while providing a great venue for local chefs to showcase their skills and vision.  There will be a fee to attend which will cover food and equipment costs, but the exact price will be determined by how much money we raise in donations.
We hope that those who share our passions and interests will see value in this project and both donate to support it and join us at the dinner table.  The dates and details will be forthcoming, but we have already secured a venue for the first Pop-Up Restaurant night and plan on a date in early May.   Everyone who donates will be contacted by email with details.  Because of limited space we cannot guarantee a seat, but you will be given priority over other attendees.  Thank you!
